FAQs

What makes your services different than companies offering cheap coupons/ads?

There are a lot of companies that offer cheap coupons. This is because almost none of them do what we do or have the equipment that we have. Our technicians are trained and knowledgeable to fully understand the procedures of “Source Removal” that is utilized on every single job. It is rare for these companies to spend the adequate time that is required to ensure the quality as we do.

Why should the Heating,Ventilation & Air Conditioning (HVAC) system be cleaned?

Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems have been shown to act as a collection source for a variety of contaminants that have the potential to affect health, such as mold, fungi, bacteria, and very small particles of dust. The removal of such contaminants from the HVAC system and home/business should be considered as one component in an overall plan to improve indoor air quality.

How should HVAC systems be cleaned?

The most effective way to clean air ducts and ventilation systems is to employ Source Removal methods of cleaning. This requires a contractor to place the system under negative pressure, through the use of a specialized, powerful vacuum. While the vacuum draws air through the system, devices are inserted into the ducts to dislodge any debris that might be stuck to interior surfaces. The debris can then travel down the ducts to the vacuum, which removes it from the system and the home.

How often should residential/commercial HVAC systems be cleaned?

Frequency of cleaning depends on several factors, not the least of which is the preference of the home owner. Some of the things that may lead a home owner to consider more frequent cleaning include:

Smokers in the household.

Pets that shed high amounts of hair and dander.

Water contamination or damage to the home or HVAC system.

Residents with allergies or asthma who might benefit from a reduction in the amount of indoor air pollutants in the home’s HVAC system.

After home renovations or remodeling.

Prior to occupancy of a new home.

On average, for residential buildings we recommend cleaning your HVAC system at least every 3 years and for commercial/industrial HVAC systems between 3-5 years.

Are there any benefits that come from HVAC system cleaning?

Research by the U.S. EPA has demonstrated that HVAC system cleaning may allow systems to run more efficiently by removing debris from sensitive mechanical components.

Reduce amount of dust collecting in furniture, equipment

Helps reduce symptoms of allergies, asthma and other respiratory issues

Improve Indoor Air Quality in home or business •Increase air flow, have a longer life span

Clean, efficient systems are less likely to break down

Generally operate more effectively than dirty systems.

My dryer is taking too long to dry, why?

While much of the lint is trapped by the dryer’s filter, lint also is carried through the venting system, together with moist air. The accumulation of lint, both in the dryer and in the dryer vent, reduces the airflow and creates a highly flammable fuel source.
